Bonjour my people! How's it going? I'm very upset that after the new episode tonight, we'd have go back to waiting a month for a new Austin&Ally! But I guess it's okay, because it's the Jessie crossover...I'm crossing my fingers for a kiss.
Thanks for the lovely reviews!
I present! The chappy!-
Last time...
"She is not using me! Why are you doing this, Ally? Maybe it's you that's using me!"
"Is that what she tell you? What happened to you Austin? You're a completely different person now. What happened to the Austin that I met?" I asked him, moving closer.
"He's gone." He insisted. "That Austin was a nobody! And nobody loved me when I was a nobody!"
"I DID!" I blurted out. Austin's mouth dropped and I sighed. "You know, before all of this, the money, the fame, and the lies," I pointed to myself. "To me, you were a somebody Austin. You were my best friend. You were my best friend that loved to sing for fun, eat pancakes until his stomach was about to burst, the best friend that was carefree and fun loving. The one that would stay up all night with me writing a song for a gig. The best friend that stole my song, but ended up trying to cure my stage fright in disaster. I loved you before all of this, Austin. Now, you're a completely different person. I don't even know you any more. You're nothing but a jerk who practically lost his best friends in less than a week."
"Ally,-" Austin started but I backed up.
"Don't." I turned away and started walking to my car. But I stopped. "Do you know when Dez's birthday is?"
"Yeah, July 23rd." He replied.
"Well, what's the date today?" I asked him, without turning around.
"July 2...24th." Austin realized.
"Yeah. His birthday was yesterday. Yesterday, Austin. Your best friend since 3rd grade's birthday was yesterday. And you completely forgot about it." I gave him one more look. "I fell in love with my best friend that loved pancakes, performing, just being himself, but most importantly my best friend that would never do this to his friends." I started walking again. Before going too far, I looked over my shoulder. "Tell me when you find him."
I got into my car and inserted the key in the ignition. Once I started driving, my eyes filled with tears. I tried wiping them away but they just kept falling. I heard a beeping sound and I stomped on the break, my car making a loud screaching sound. I almost ran a red light. I sighed. I was about to turn into the hotel parking lot, when I decided I didn't want to talk or see anyone right now.
I still can't believe that I just confessed to Austin. I mean, I just lost it, you know? He isn't the same anymore. I've let his attitude and actions pass for the month slide, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Instead I drove to the beach. I know what you're thinking, Ally Dawson going to the beach? I thought she hated the beach. But ever since our little experience at the beach before, I've learned to love it. I got out of the car and headed to the Grill.
"Hey Ally!" Isabelle greeted me. I let out a smile and sat on the bar stool. "You okay?"
"No. Not really." I mumbled. She handed me a glass of water. "Thanks."
"What happened?" She moved around the counter and sat next to me.
"I...I told Austin." Her eyes widened.
"Really? And what did he say?" She asked.
"He didn't say anything. I left him there before he could." I sighed, taking a sip of water.
"Oh," She nodded. Isabelle placed a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, Ally. I know that I tried to help you, but I guess I was too late."
"No, it's fine. I already lost him by the time you tried." I leaned my head on my hand on the counter and played around with the necklace Austin gave me. "I really appreciate your help, Isabelle."
"Anything Ally. I know I've just met you, but you're like a sister to me." Isabelle replied sincerely. I reached over and gave her a hug.
"Well, I don't want you to get fired, so I think i should go." I hopped down from the stool.
"Are you going to be okay by yourself?" She asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm going to take a walk on the beach for a while. Maybe clear my head before heading home." I explained. She nodded.
"Okay, see you later Ally. Take care okay?" Isabelle walked back behind the counter as I headed out the door and onto the loose sand. I took off my heels and carried them as I walked closer and closer to the water.I spotted a bench and jogged to it. I pulled out my phone and realized that Trish had called me three times and Dez twice. Along with 15 new messages.
Ally? Are you still waiting for him? -Trish
Let's face it, Alls. He's not coming. -Trish
Ally, I really think you should come home. Trish has been pacing non stop trying to contact you. -Dez
Hello? Ally are you still there? -Dez
Call us on my phone, Trish's ran out of battery. -Dez
ALLY DAWSON! WHY WON'T YOU REPLY TO OUR TEXTS?! -Trish, on Dez's phone
Hey, Ally. It's Isabelle. Austin came by just a few minutes ago, he was looking for you.
If you're not home any time soon, I'm going to file for a missing person! -Trish, on Dez's phone
Austin's looking for me? Even if he finds me, I'm not speaking to him. I sighed and got back up. There were only a few people still at the beach considering that it was almost 10 at night. I smiled when an old couple passed by me hand in hand.
Austin's POV-
"She is not using me! Why are you doing this, Ally? Maybe it's you that's using me!" I accused.
"Is that what she tell you? What happened to you Austin? You're a completely different person now. What happened to the Austin that I met?" She asked me, moving closer. Ally was near close to tears.
"He's gone." I insisted. "That Austin was a nobody! And nobody loved me when I was a nobody!"
"I DID!" She blurted out. I wasn't expecting that. My jaw dropped. "You know, before all of this, the money, the fame, and the lies," She pointed to herself. "To me, you were a somebody Austin. You were my best friend. You were my best friend that loved to sing for fun, eat pancakes until his stomach was about to burst, the best friend that was carefree and fun loving. The one that would stay up all night with me writing a song for a gig. The best friend that stole my song, but ended up trying to cure my stage fright in disaster. I loved you before all of this, Austin. Now, you're a completely different person. I don't even know you any more. You're nothing but a jerk who practically lost his best friends in less than a week."
"Ally,-" I finally spoke up, but she stepped back away from me and shook her head.
"Don't." Ally turned away and began to walk to her car, then she stopped. "Do you know when Dez's birthday is?"
"Yeah, July 23rd." I replied, rather confidently. Of course, I would know when Dez's birthday is.
"Well, what's the date today?" She asked, without turning around.
"July 2...24th." Oh my God. I am such an ass.
"Yeah. His birthday was yesterday. Yesterday, Austin. Your best friend since 3rd grade's birthday was yesterday. And you completely forgot about it." She turned with one more look. "I fell in love with my best friend that loved pancakes, performing, just being himself, but most importantly my best friend that would never do this to his friends. Tell me when you find him."
And with that she was gone. I stood there, still in shock. After 10 minutes, I climbed back into my car. I looked into the mirror. Who was this guy staring back at me?
It's the same guy that promised Ally that he wouldn't change no matter how famous he got. The same guy that promised to help her with a song. The same one that told her that he wouldn't miss her first performance by herself. The same guy that forgot his best friend's birthday. The guy who drove away the friends that have always been there for him, and the one that lost the one he truely loves. A voice echoed in my head. I ran my hand through my hair. Ally was right. I am not the same Austin as I was before. I can't believe that I got so caught up with all the attention to see how I was losing the people that helped me get here.
I looked away from the mirror. I had to make things right. I started my car and drove to Ashley's house.
When I knocked on her door, she opened it and smiled.
"Hey Austy!" She pulled me to her to kiss me, but I pulled away. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Yeah, you did." I mumbled. But it was too low for her to hear. "Ashley, I have to talk to you about something."
"Sure, anything, babe." She sat down on the couch. "What's up?"
"Listen, I know you were just trying to help with the publicity thing, but-"
"Oh, Austin. You don't get it do you? I really do like you." She got up and started playing with my hair.
"No." I pushed her away, leaving her shocked. "Ashley, what we have, isn't real. You and I both know that. And...and I've realized that you changed me into who I am right now."
"Isn't that a good thing?" She asked. I shook my head.
"Actually, it's not. Because of the change, I've lost my best friends. I've forgotten the most important things. I broke promises that shouldn't have been broken. I...I lost Ally." I looked down.
"Who cares?"
"I do! Ally is the most important person to me! She's more important than fame, or any of this!" I shouted.
"She's more important than me, you GIRLFRIEND?" She put emphisis on 'girlfriend'. I nodded.
"Yeah, but you've got something wrong." I told her. She crossed her arms.
"Oh? And what would that be?"
"You're not my girlfriend anymore." I simply replied.
Isabelle's POV(briefly)-
I was cleaning the countertop when I saw a familiar face come into the Grill.
"Austin? What are you doing here?" I asked him. He walked over.
"Hey, Isabelle. I just came to grab something to eat." He explained. "Can I get a burger?"
"Um, sure." I wrote it down on the notepad and handed it to Ralph, the cook. I came back and noticed his left cheek was red. "What happened to your cheek?"
"Ashley slapped me when I broke up with her."
"You broke up with her?" I was trying to hold back a smile. Ally would be so happy when she hears about this. I really hope she's okay, she seemed really depressed earlier. Austin nodded. There was an awkward moment, until he spoke up again.
"I really messed up didn't I?" He asked me.
"With Ally? Yeah you did." I put down the table cloth. "She came by earlier. She was crushed. I've never seen someone so hurt before, Austin.Look, I know I don't really know you guys, but, I know well enough when two people love each other by just the way they look at each other. What you two have is too special to let it go to waste."
Austin looked down. "You're right, Isabelle."
"Well, duh!" I replied. He laughed. "She went down to the shoreline after she left. She must've gone home already, though. It's been a while since I last saw her. She told me that she was going to walk down for a while before heading home. I suggest you talk to her before you lose her for good."
"Thank you." And with that, Austin was out the door.
Back to Austin's POV-
I ran back to my car and headed to the hotel. Once I got there, I sprinted to our penthouse. I bursted through the door, past Dez and Trish, who looked rather shocked when I almost busted the door to the ground, and into Ally's room.
"Ally?" I called out. No answer. I looked around, but no one was there. I looked in her bathroom, her balcony and everywhere else. I passed her nightstand and I saw a picture of me and her dancing at Trish's party when she turned 15. We were slow dancing and smiling at each other. A smile crept onto my face as I picked it up. I set it back down and went back into the living room.
"Hey guys." I said to Trish and Dez, quietly. They didn't even look at me, let alone give me a sideways glance. "Look, I know you are pissed at me, but I really need to see Ally. Do you-"
"Now you want to see Ally?" Trish scoffed. "Didn't seem like you wanted to a few hours ago."
"Trish-" Dez started.
"No, he needs to know!" She shot up. "What the hell happened to you Austin? Did you realize that after her performance, Ally would check her phone literally every 5 minutes to see if you texted her? That she WANTED you there for support? She's always been there for you Austin, for your performances. And when she finally got her chance, you weren't there. She told me that she's never felt like they way she does now everytime she's with you. Your opinion was the most important thing to her, and you weren't even there when she needed you the most."
"I know that, Trish! And I want to make things right." I sighed. "That's why I need to find Ally."
"Well she's not here." Trish informed me.
"Where is she?" She shrugged.
"She hasn't been answering our calls and texts." Dez added. "I'm starting to get really worried."
"We all are." Trish placed a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, guys, Ally will be back. I know she will. We should all just go to sleep."
"You guys go ahead. I'm gonna wait a little while longer before I turn in for the night. You know, just in case she gets home." I told them. Trish walked into her room. Dez yawned and nodded.
"Alright buddy." He patted me on the back. I sat down on the couch before I remembered something.
"Oh wait, Dez!" I walked over to him and handed him a wrapped box. "Happy birthday, man. I'm so sorry that I forgot. I really hope this makes it better. It probably won't though."
He unwrapped the gift and his eyes went wide. "A brand new camera?!"
"Yeah, it hasn't come out yet, but I figured that you should be the first to have one." I nodded. He smiled up at me.
"Thanks Austin." We did our famous handshake. Dez went into his room as I sat back down onto the couch. I played with my phone for about 10 minutes before falling asleep there. It wasn't until I think 2 in the morning when I woke up from a sound. At first, I thought it was just my imagination and I rolled over. And since I was half asleep, I ended up rolling the wrong away and ended up on the ground. That was when I heard another noise.
"Hello?" I shot up. I looked around, but the room was nearly pitch black if it weren't for the city lights illuminating part of the living room and kitchen. My heart started to race as I began to think it was Ally. "Ally? Are you here?"
There was no answer. I turned on the lights and saw no one. I walked into Ally's room and still I didnt see her. Suddenly Trish opened the door of her room as I walked back into the hallway.
"Austin? What are you doing?" She asked me, rubbing her eyes. Next, Dez came out.
"Dude, is Ally back yet?" Dez questioned me, half asleep. I shook my head.
"No."
"Then why are you walking around? I can hear you from inside my room." Trish complained.
"I thought I heard someone walk in. I thought it might have been Ally. But there's no one here. Nothing's been moved." I sighed. Trish rubbed my back.
"It's okay, Austin. She'll be back I just know it. It's not like Ally to be out this late."
"I know. And I'm getting really worried. I'm starting to think that something bad happened. That she-" I was inturrupted by my cell phone ringing.
"Who would be call you at this hour?" Dez asked. I shrugged. I picked it up and looked at the caller i.d. It said UNKNOWN. "Are you going to answer it?"
"I don't know. Should I?" I looked at the both of them. Dez looked unsure and Trish just stared at the phone. It kept ringing.
"Answer it. Just put it on speaker." Trish suggested, shifting. I did as she said and pressed 'answer'.
"Is this Austin Moon?" A deep voice said from the other side. It shocked all of us.
"Y-yes?" I replied, trying not to sound unsure.
"Good. Listen here rockstar, I need you to do something for me." He, or she replied. I scoffed.
"What makes you think that I'll cooperate?" I questioned. They let out a creepy and low chuckle.
"Oh, I'm very sure that you'd do anything once I tell you why."
"Yeah? And what would that be?" I shot back. Another laugh echoed through.
"First, walk into Ally's room."
"What's in Ally's room?" I looked over to her door.
"Man, you are just all question and no do, aren't you pretty boy?" They mocked. "Just do it."
I simply walked into her room and turned on the light. Trish and Dez followed me, with confusion in their faces.
"Okay, I'm in here, now what?" I waited for the next step.
"Open her nightstand drawer." Again, I followed the instuction that they gave me. "Now, I know you'll love this part. Open to the last page she wrote on."
I handed the phone to Dez, so I was able to flip through the pages. I didn't read them of course, but one page caught my eye. It was my name with a heart underneathe it. I sighed and continued to turn the pages until I reached the last one that she wrote on. And when I did. Something fell out and onto the ground. I gasped as I picked it up.
It was a necklace. A music note necklace and on the back it read, Austin & Ally.
DUN DUN DUN! Don't you just love me leaving you hanging like that? MUAHHAHAHAHAHHA!
